Hi -- I'm Dave Novak. I was diagnosed with high-grade Myxoid Liposarcoma (stage 3) on my left thigh in July, 2008. I've completed 6 cycles of intensive chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation, surgery, and PT. This blog contains my full story (diagnosis - today) and seeks to educate, inform, and encourage new patients and their families.

Quarterly scans (from yesterday) "all clear"

Just a chest CT-scan this time, and it was clear. Yeah! In 3 months (Feb 15), I go back for a Chest-Abdomen-Pelvis CT-Scan (you know, the one where I have to drink that flavored oral contrast). Mmm-mmm -- I do love my "mochachino" in the morning!

The really good news is that I'll be hitting my 2-year NED anniversary in March, and starting then, my scan schedule will change to every 4 months.

I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving and Christmas break. I'll talk to you in another 3 months!

Hello Dave, sorry to so rude and straight forward but I too was diagnosed w myxoid liposarcoma in April of 2008 stage 4, mine in the right calf. Until this past new years eve everything has been fine, then my scans showed metastases to the lungs. I have not read through all of your posts but was wondering if you have any information that may be of use. I am scheduled to see a thoracic surgeon on the 12th and my research time is limited. Any assistance is appreciated.
